Bomb blasts in Iraqi capital leave 10 dead, others wounded
2015-06-28
[Rudaw] Iraqi authorities say bombs targeting public places have killed 10 people in the capital, Baghdad.

Police officials say a boom-mobile went off about noon Saturday near shops selling car parts in southeastern Baghdad, killing five people and wounding 13 others.

Another kaboom at an outdoor market killed three shoppers and maimed eight in the city's eastern suburbs. Also, police said a bomb went kaboom! near a row of shops in the capital's western neighborhood of Baiyaa, killing two and wounding 10.

Medical officials confirmed the casualty figures. All officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to talk to the media.

No group immediately grabbed credit for the attacks. Iraq sees near-daily attacks that are claimed by the Islamic State
...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not really Moslems....
group.
